  • Dual phototherapy, including photodynamic therapy (PDT) and

    photothermal therapy (PTT), is regarded as a more effective method for

    cancer treatment than single PDT or PTT. However, development of single

    component and near-infrared (NIR) triggered agents for efficient dual

    phototherapy remains a challenge. Herein, a simple strategy to develop

    dual-functional small-molecules-based photosensitizers for combined

    PDT and PTT treatment is proposed through: 1) finely modulating

    HOMO–LUMO energy levels to regulate the intersystem crossing (ISC)

    process for effective singlet oxygen (1O2) generation for PDT; 2) effectively

    inhibiting fluorescence via strong intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) to

    maximize the conversion of photo energy to heat for PTT or ISC process

    for PDT. An acceptor–donor–acceptor (A-D-A) structured small molecule

    (CPDT) is designed and synthesized. The biocompatible nanoparticles,

    FA-CNPs, prepared by encapsulating CPDT directly with a folate

    functionalized amphipathic copolymer, present strong NIR absorption,

    robust photostability, cancer cell targeting, high photothermal conversion

    efficiency as well as efficient 1O2 generation under single 808 nm laser

    irradiation. Furthermore, synergistic PDT and PTT effects of FA-CNPs

    in vivo are demonstrated by significant inhibition of tumor growth. The

    proposed strategy may provide a new approach to reasonably design and

    develop safe and efficient photosensitizers for dual phototherapy against

    cancer.
